According to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, four back country zones are in extreme avalanche danger. This is the first time that four have been on the extreme scale since the ten-zone forecast format has been implemented. Warning zones include Front Range, Steamboat, Flat Tops, Vail, Summit County, Sawatch, Aspen, Gunnison, Grand Mesa, and the San Juan Mountains.
